On the way, they had some wonderful moments at Kalapatthar (5,644.5 m), an incredible vantage point to witness the panoramic beauty of Khumbu Glacier, Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Ama Dablam and other Himalayan peaks; in full glory. Julián Insarralde, who is also the leader of the trip, owns a travel company named Trekking & Alta Montañais based in Argentina. Now, he is in Nepal to have a Himalayan mountaineering experience and also to see a prospect of working in the Himalayas with the local partner.
